UnderGuild: Offense offers simple but strategic tower defence action
  • Looking to take on the forces of evil? UnderGuild: Offense offers just that
  • Establish your force of adventurers and mercs to hold back the monsters
  • Merge to form more powerful warriors and take on massive bosses

When it comes to adventuring, it's a good thing that we don't do it in real life. Because I can't imagine taking a job cleaning out a sewer of monsters. But in UnderGuild: Offense you can step once more into the shoes of the unfortunates who do so, and take on the challenge for both iOS and Android!

UnderGuild: Offense is not a difficult thing to describe. This is your atypical strategy defence RPG. Your goal is to strategically place your mixture of permanent heroes and temporary mercenaries, while taking on hordes of monsters that move in to overwhelm them. You'll need to think forward and plan for the worst as you clear out the underground.

Where it does differ from the rest of the pack is in terms of graphics, which offer a slightly cartoonier but just as grim take as others, and in the addition of merge mechanics. You'll be able to create more powerful warriors by merging them and enhancing your strategy with the aforementioned mercs.

I admit there's not much in the way of a major hook for UnderGuild. We've seen plenty of tower defence like it. But I do like the way it seems to be refining that genre of RPG-strategy-TD, and the ability to both merge your heroes and use mercs to fill out your ranks is an interesting addition.

In particular, you won't be short on the familiar enemies that all adventurers have to face down, with enormous bosses and swarms of mooks to cut your way through. So don't expect things to be easy when you dive into the world of UnderGuild.

If you do get a taste for tower defence from playing UnderGuild, then you'll be glad to know that there's a whole host of options out there for you to play. Just check out our list of the best tower defence games for Android to find a small selection of the best there are!
